hello - in this pdf paper http://www.telecom.tuc.gr/paperdb/eurospeech99/PAPERS/S11O2/K046.PDF the authors used a particular "pitch predictive" filter to remove periodicities in an input signal. It is equation (2) of the paper, and is quite simple looking. I am having a few problems understanding it and how to implement it in matlab. The equation is: H(z) = 1 - (z ^ -P) F(z) where (z ^ -P) is a normal(i'm assuming feedforward) comb delay filter of P samples and F(z) is a fractional delay, second order lagrange filter and H(z) is the transfer function. The purpose of the filter is to remove periodicities in the input signal that were detected by an algorithm from earlier in the paper. How do i implement this filter in matlab? i have functions where i can obtain the coefficients for the lagrange filter, but how do I apply them? Moreover, how do I incorporate the lagrange filter with the rest of the transfer function above? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeremiah Smith parlous@hotmail.com

The interpolation is done from the original data to arrive at the possible data at the fractional spacing required. It's basically doing the job of upsampling for you. Another way to implement a fractional delay is to upsample and then delay by an integer number. This is what the lagrangian interpolation filter is doing for you directly.
